Creating a Multipoint-to-Multipoint E-LAN Service Definition

This procedure provides the steps to create a definition for a multipoint-to-multipoint E-LAN service.

The standard service definitions that came with your initial software installation are designed to be appropriate for most requirements. You can also create a customized service definition—for example, to set different bandwidth limits on the service than those offered in the standard service definitions.

When the new service definition is complete and published, network operators or service provisioners can use the completed service definition as a base for creating and then activating multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet services on the network.

The windows appear in the order stated. You can, however, perform these steps in any order by accessing them through the task list in the right panel. If the panel is not visible, click the snap tool on the right side of the main display area.

To create a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service definition, complete these tasks, in the order shown. As you finish a section and click Next, the attributes from the current window are saved and the next window in the sequence appears.

  2. Click Next to save the information and continue with UNI or site settings.

Specifying Advanced Settings

In this step, you can specify the parameters that define advanced connectivity between sites across the service provider network. Thes settings can be configured in the Advanced settings section of the General Settings page of the Create E-LAN Service Definition wizard.

To specify advanced settings:

  1. Fill in the fields as indicated in the table.

    Advanced Settings—This section enables you to specify the parameters that define advanced connectivity between sites across the service provider network

    Include

    Select the Include check box for each advanced setting that you want to include in the service definition.

    Note:

    If you select any advanced parameters for a service definition, you must also select the Include check box for the Disable tunnel services parameter, and select or clear the Disable tunnel services check box.

    For MX Series devices, if you deploy an E-LAN service without selecting the Include check box for Disable tunnel services parameter, the E-LAN service is down. As a work around, you can push the configuration to each PE device for the service by running the following command:

    root@test_device# set chassis fpc 0 pic 1 tunnel-services bandwidth 1g

    Disable Tunnel Services

    Enable or disable tunnel-services to specify that traffic for particular VPLS routing instances be forwarded to specific virtual tunnel (VT) interfaces.

    • To enable tunnel-services, clear the Disable Tunnel Services check box.

    • To disable tunnel-services, select the Disable Tunnel Services check box (default).

    Disable Local Switching

    Enable or disable local switching. In local switching mode, you can terminate multiple Layer 2 circuit pseudowires at a single VPLS mesh group:

    • To enable local switching across the network, clear the Disable Local Switching check box.

    • To disable local switching across the network, select the Disable Local Switching check box (default).

    Fast Reroute-Priority

    In this drop-down list, specify the reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance:

    • HIGH—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to high. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for high-priority VPLS routing instances first.

    • MEDIUM—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to medium. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for medium-priority VPLS instances after high-priority VPLS routing instances but before low-priority VPLS routing instances.

    • LOW—Set the fast reroute priority for a VPLS routing instance to low, which is the default. During a fast reroute event, the router repairs next hops for low-priority VPLS routing instances last.

    Label Block Size

    Configure the label block size for VPLS labels by using one of the following values.

    • 2—Allocate the label blocks in increments of 2. Use this setting for a VPLS domain that has only two sites with no future expansion plans.

    • 4—Allocate the label blocks in increments of 4.

    • 8 —Allocate the label blocks in increments of 8. This is the default.

    • 16—Allocate the label blocks in increments of 16. A label block size of 16 enables you to minimize the number of routes in the VPLS domain. Use this setting only if the number of routes is the primary concern.

    Note:

    This field is unavailable if the Signaling type is LDP and the Auto discovery check box is enabled.

    Connectivity type

    Select a connection-type to specify when a VPLS connection is taken down, depending on whether the interface for the VPLS routing instance is customer-facing or integrated routing and bridging (IRB):

    • ce—Require that for the VPLS connection to be up, the customer-facing interface for the VPLS routing instance must also be up. If the customer-facing interface fails, the VPLS connection is taken down. This is the default.

    • irb—Allow a VPLS connection to remain up so long as an IRB interface is configured for the VPLS routing instance.

    Note:

    This field is unavailable if the Signaling type is LDP and the Auto discovery is enabled.

    Editable in Service Order

    By default, each advanced setting that you include in the service definition can be edited in the service order. To prevent the service provisioner from overriding an advanced setting in the service order, clear the Editable in Service Order check box.
  2. Click Next to define the UNI or site parameters. Alternatively, click Back to return to the previous page of the wizard; else click Cancel to discard the changes.
  3. Click Review to view the defined parameters. You can examine and modify the created service order parameters. Alternatively, click the corresponding buttons at the top of the wizard page to navigate to the specific pages pertain to the settings you want to modify. Click Back to return to the previous page of the wizard; else click Cancel to discard the changes.
  4. After you complete reviewing the settings, click Finish to complete the service definition creation.

Specifying Site Settings for Multipoint-to-Multipoint E-LAN Service Definitions

    Physical Interface Encapsulation

    Select ethernet-vpls, the only valid physical interface encapsulation method allowed for port-to-port services.

    Logical Interface Encapsulation

    You cannot select a choice in this field because it is not relevant to port-to-port services.

    Traffic Type

    This drop-down is disabled for port-to-port services. For port-to-port services, all traffic is always transported.

    VLAN Normalization

    Select a value:

    • Normalize to VLAN all—To preserve customer VLAN IDs (and customer QoS priorities) across the network.

      Note:

      For services that transport a range of VLANs, you must select VLAN Normalization to all. You cannot transport a range of VLANs without normalization.

    • Normalize to VLAN none—To preserve no VLAN IDs across the network.

    • Normalized to Dot1q tag—To transport only single-tagged frames across the network core. All port, dot1q , and Q-in-Q traffic is transported across the network

    • Normalized to QinQ tags—To transport only double-tagged frames across the network core. All port, dot1q , and Q-in-Q traffic is transported across the network.

    • Normalization not required—To specify no normalization for port-to-port services

      Note:

      Starting with Release 1.0R2, when you newly install Connectivity Services Director, if you select the option to not require normalization in a service definition, the auto-pick option for VLAN IDs and the option to edit the auto-pick behavior in service order are disabled in the service definition. When you create a service order by associating with that service definition, you need to manually enter the VLAN IDs for the interfaces and cannot use the auto-pick functionality. This same behavior also applies to default service templates in which if you select the normalization-not-required functionality, the auto-pick option for VLAN IDs is disabled.

    • Normalize to VLAN all—To preserve customer VLAN IDs (and customer QoS priorities) across the network.

      Note:

      For services that transport a range of VLANs, you must select VLAN Normalization to all. You cannot transport a range of VLANs without normalization.

    • Normalized VLAN none—To preserve no VLAN IDs across the network.

    • Normalized to Dot1q—To transport only single-tagged frames across the network core. All port, dot1q , and Q-in-Q traffic is transported across the network

    • Normalized to QinQ—To transport only double-tagged frames across the network core. All port, dot1q , and Q-in-Q traffic is transported across the network.

    • Normalization not required—To specify no normalization for port-to-port services

      Note:

      Starting with Release 1.0R2, when you newly install Connectivity Services Director, if you select the option to not require normalization in a service definition, the auto-pick option for VLAN IDs and the option to edit the auto-pick behavior in service order are disabled in the service definition. When you create a service order by associating with that service definition, you need to manually enter the VLAN IDs for the interfaces and cannot use the auto-pick functionality. This same behavior also applies to default service templates in which if you select the normalization-not-required functionality, the auto-pick option for VLAN IDs is disabled.

    For more information about VLAN normalization, see Junos Space Layer 2 Services Overview.

    For information about VLAN manipulation, see Understanding VLAN Manipulation (Normalization and VLAN Mapping) on Ethernet Services.

    Auto Pick VLAN ID

    Indicate how the VLAN ID is determined. By default, this check box is disabled.

    • Clear this check box to allow the service provider to specify the VLAN ID. This option is normally used when no VLAN normalization is applied. Specify the VLAN ID range in VLAN range for manual input.

      Note:

      Make sure to select Editable in Service Order if you want the service provisioner to be able to override this setting.

    • Select this check box when VLAN normalization is applied. Specify the VLAN ID pool in VLAN range for auto-pick.

      Note:

      Make sure to select Editable in Service Order if you want the service provisioner to be able to override this setting.

    Note:

    When the range of VLAN IDs that are automatically assigned by the system (with the auto-pick option enabled during the creation of a service definition) is less than or greater than the range of VLAN IDs that are manually specified (with the manual selection option enabled during the creation of a service definition), the following conditions apply during the creation of a service order with the Editable in Service Order check box selected during service definition creation:

    • If you create a service order with the auto-pick option enabled, the VLAN ID is selected from the auto-pick range, and the value is displayed in the VLAN range for manual input field. If you attempt to change the VLAN ID manually, the value is restricted to the manually configured range.

    • If you create a service order with the auto-pick option disabled, the VLAN ID is selected from the manually configured range, and the value is displayed in the VLAN range for manual input field. If you attempt to change the VLAN ID manually, the value is restricted to the manually configured range.

    VLAN range for auto-pick:

    Specify the VLAN ID pool.

    Range: 1 through 4094

    VLAN range for manual input

    Specify the VLAN ID range.

    Range: 1 through 4094

    Outer Tag Protocol ID

    Select the outer tag protocol ID if the Customer traffic type is Transport single VLAN:

    • 0x88a8

    • 0x8100

    • 0x9100

    Note:

    For an interface, you must configure a physical port with the possible Tag Protocol Identifiers (TPID) either manually or through a template. Otherwise, the service creation fails for all TPIDs except 0x8100. To configure the TPIDs manually, use the following commands:

    set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options ethernet-switch-profile tag-protocol-id 0x9100

    set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options ethernet-switch-profile tag-protocol-id 0x88a8

    set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options ethernet-switch-profile tag-protocol-id 0x8100

    Inner Tag Protocol ID

    Select the inner tag protocol ID:

    • 0x88a8

    • 0x8100

    • 0x9100

    Note:

    You cannot specify the Inner Tag protocol ID if the Customer traffic type is Transport single VLAN.

    Editable in Service Order

    To allow the service provisioner to override the outer and inner tag protocol IDs, select the check boxes for those options.

    Default Interface MTU (Bytes)

    The default MTU value is 1522 bytes. To allow the service provisioner to override the MTU setting, select the Editable in Service Order check box.

    MTU range for manual-config

    In the MTU range fields, type the lowest and highest values for MTU for each UNI.

    Note:

    To allow the service provisioner to override the MTU setting, select Editable in Service Order and, in the MTU range fields, type the highest and lowest MTU values.

    PE-CE Interface Rate-Limiting Settings

    Enable Interface Rate Limiting

    To enable a service provisioner to limit the available bandwidth, select this check box, and type a default bandwidth limit.

    Note:

    Bandwidth settings are available in the service definition when Manage CoS Profiles page is configured with CoS profiles.

    Default bandwidth (Mbps)

    Specify the default bandwidth value in Mbps.

    Default: 10 Mbps

    Range: 1 Mbps through 100,000 Mbps

    Min Bandwidth (Kbps)
